  Description       : ESO VLT Instrument pipeline collection

In collaboration with the various instrument consortia, the Pipeline
Systems Department has undertaken to implement data reduction
pipelines for the most commonly used VLT/VLTI instrument modes.
These data reduction pipelines have three main purposes:

 * Data quality control,

 * Master calibration product creation, and

 * Science product creation.

This metapackage will install all ESO VLT pipelines along with the
environments needed to run them (esorex, python-cpl). Note that EsoReflex
and Gasgano are not available in Debian yet.

The package will be maintained by the Debian Astronomy team.
A git repository will be created at

http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/debian-astro/packages/eso-pipelines.git

Possibly, this metapackage will be integrated into a future Debian-Astronomy
tasks package.

Best regards

Ole
